Abstract

The Binary Decision Diagram BDD, the Binary Moment Diagram BMD and the Minimal Deterministic Automaton MDA are three canonical representations for Boolean functions. Exact expression a(i) and w(i) are provided for the average and worst size BDD over \({B^i}\rightarrowtail B\), and they are proved equal to those for the average and worst size BMD.
